GENERAL

The association of firms to crimes, condemnable management practices, operational difficulties and / or fails carried out by their partners suggests that negative events occurred in a firm (i.e. source firm) hold the potential to negatively affect others. As firms direct and indirect relationships with their partners become less obvious, supply chain risks (March and Shapira, 1987) must be reconsidered to account for this contemporary and possibly hazardous prospect. In addressing this issue, the present dissertation investigates the impacts of negative corporate events to supply chain partners. empirical evidence suggest that beyond the interruption of physical flows, unfavorable circumstances may not be restricted to firms originating them, spreading across their networks.
